2017 Tinker Field Research Grant Recipients

2017 Tinker Field Research Grant Recipients

The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) at Brown University is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2017 Tinker Foundation Field Research Grants.

Tinker Field Research Grants have been awarded to 10 graduate students across seven departments. The funding will help support their pre-dissertation travel during 2017-18 to Latin America and the Caribbean, providing them an irreplaceable opportunity to acquire critical knowledge of language and culture, familiarize themselves with information sources relevant to their areas of interest, conduct preliminary research, and develop local academic and professional contacts. Through this generous support, CLACS contributes to enhancing both the feasibility of students’ projects and the competitiveness of their subsequent proposals for external funding in support of their dissertation research.
